About

Hello I’m Ayana. Do you find life to be challenging? Are you struggling with an issue or relationship and feel stuck? Do you want to talk to someone but are afraid to reach out for help? I empower high functioning women and men to overcome and manage unbearable anxiety and symptoms of depression. I use a holistic approach to address the needs of the body, mind and Spirit. I also offer a safe, warm, non judgmental and empathetic environment to share your thoughts and experiences. I work collaboratively with each client to help accomplish one’s personal goals for therapy. Using evidenced based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has proven to be effective in recognizing one’s own dysfunctional patterns and learn how to overcome these hangups and habits that have held one back!
